Hey! How\u2019s it going, Awesome Go Natural English Learner?

In this episode, we\u2019re going to learn the five freshest, hottest slang words for 2016. You know, vocabulary words come in and go out of use. If you\u2019re speaking English like your textbook that was published in 1950, you probably don\u2019t sounds like a native speaker. That\u2019s why we have this episode and lots of other episodes from Go Natural English, as well as our courses and materials at gonaturalenglish.com. In fact, if you come to gonaturalenglish.com, I have a free training for you to get started on today. Just come to gonaturalenglish.com and you\u2019ll see it right there.

Okay! So, let\u2019s get to the top five slang words for 2016.

Number One is \u201cextra\u201d. Keep in mind, you probably already know the word \u201cextra\u201d, but this is a new use of the word as slang. That\u2019s what slang is, right? It\u2019s taking a word that we already have and using it another way. So \u201cextra\u201d means \u201ctrying too hard, or being over the top.\u201d Okay? \u201cOh, that\u2019s extra! That\u2019s too much!\u201d It\u2019s negative. It\u2019s not a good thing.

Number Two is \u201cOTP\u201d. This is an abbreviation that stands for \u201cone true pairing\u201d, a couple that you are emotionally invested in. Forever, Beyonc\xe9 and Jay-Z are my OTP. Who is your OTP? You can tell me in the comments.

Next: \u201cNetflix and chill.\u201d This phrase has been in use for a little while. What it means is \u2013 and I think it\u2019ll continue to be in use throughout 2016 \u2013 what it means is inviting someone over to your home for a romantic encounter, but pretending you will just watch streaming movies and hang out.

Next is number Four: \u201csnatched\u201d. It\u2019s used to describe something that looks really good. It\u2019s the new \u201con fleek\u201d and \u201con fleek\u201d is the new \u201con point\u201d and \u201con point\u201d is the new \u201ccool.\u201d So, you just learned a lot of new slang words there.

Number Five \u2013 finally, our last one \u2013 is \u201chunty\u201d. \u201cHunty\u201d means your best friend, someone you always hang out with. You have a group of \u201chunties\u201d.
